I wanted to assemble some works from the most desperate and miserable part of my life-- not for you to feel sorry for me, but for you to know that people have been there, and they have found their way out of it.

A unique combination of blues and industrial, "Songs From The Corner" touch on the essence of loneliness and grief. These tracks were written as the act "mystified" between the years of 2003 and 2008.

I chose, as a cover, an outtake of El Greco's "Pieta", in which Christ has died, and is lying prone in his Mother's arms-- three days before his return.
